I've always felt like Ayu was hugely influenced by TK and KEIKO. Her voice technique and writing style in her lyrics are very similar to globe, though it was only at the beginning of Ayu's career (2000's) until she was able to find her own style
Thank you so much for translating, I've been desperate of globe's lyrics for so so long because globe isn't as well-known in the West like Ayu (not to mention, pretty old band).
